The story (or narrative) from The Washington Post was about the "successful trade talks" between Donald Trump and Xi Peng in China. WaPo claimed that it wasn't true. They went on to say that the talks were all nonsense and confusion.

They went ahead, quoting a former U.S. government official (unnamed, of course, but implied that he was an expert who was said to have been in contact with Chinese officials. This "expert" claimed that Beijing are puzzled and irritated by the Trump administrations behavior, and widespread confusion across media claiming the 'truce' as a nothingburger.

Well, that did not sit well with the Chinese. For them, they viewed the discussions (and relationship with Trump), to be very "special". In response, China's Ministry of Finance has denied any confusion or negativity exists.

Meanwhile, The WaPo report went to claim the unknown former US official said:

You dont do this with the Chinese. You dont triumphantly proclaim all their concessions in public. Its just madness,

The Chinese delegation went on a tour of other South American countries after the G-20. They have not gone back to China yet. So, there is no expectation of them responding to the G-20 talks at this time. But that does not stop the propaganda from the WP from spewing forth. Those with stocks should send Bezos a bill for their stock losses.

The Chinese are duplicitous and they are taking us for a ride. Our team suspects this but doesn’t know how to handle it. That is why there have been contradictory statements. You can tell by these vague and non-specific statements coming out of Beijing, which may be the reason for Trump’s “tariff man” tweet.

For a state-controlled economy, they can open soybean and auto imports as agreed overnight.

We need some down-and-dirty players in our team if we are going to get anywhere.

The crazed Democrats are somewhat, sort of crashing the fake markets, while the economy continues to increase. Fuel prices are still falling, BTW. Gas is below $2 in some parts of the South and the Midwest.
